Abstract

Aging is a unidirectional physiological phenomenon, but one can retard its detrimental consequences by healthy nutrition. It is alarming that escalating global trends of diet-induced excess weight and obesity are leading to type 2 diabetic and cardiovascular complications and inflammatory diseases among adults and adolescents. Appropriate nutritional implements and active lifestyles are recommended to help safeguard healthy aging. While many functional food ingredients may have beneficial impacts on human health, the current chapter highlights the specific roles of dietary fiber, prebiotics, and probiotics in conjunction with commensal gastrointestinal and gut microbiota, and the subsequent microbial metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids and their receptors that play critical roles in controlling a variety of molecular events. Such events influence antitumorigenicity, energy metabolism, feeding behavior, T-cell differentiation, inflammation, and immune homeostasis in preventing individuals from becoming susceptible to a variety of diseases that often come with aging. The chapter reviews the recent literature and prospective lines of further research.

Abstract

Globally, 44 million people are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, characterized by severe impairment of cognitive ability, disrupting the daily lives of old people and enforcing compulsive dependency. With no drugs to cure the disease and increasing prevalence of an elderly population, Alzheimer’s has become a major public health issue and a heavy burden on many global economies. Currently, FDA approved drugs barely help patients just to maintain their daily activity. Delaying the onset of the disease is the best option, via healthy nutrition and an active lifestyle. This chapter focuses on several hypotheses of Alzheimer’s pathology, and recent research progress exploring the efficacy of “disease-modifying drugs,” which may be helpful in blocking or slowing the advancement of Alzheimer’s. As well as the existing status quo of testing such candidate drugs in experimental animal models and clinical trials, other potential diversified approaches of therapy, including encouraging outcomes of promising nutritional intervention studies, are highlighted.
